Reagan broke the controller union's back.... he fired the strikers and
never rehired them. They're gone. Frankly, I don't miss them. The
replacements were much better.

Place I was working at in the early 80's had one of the fired controllers
working as a Robert Half temp clerk. He was all about bragging how he was
going to be re-hired due to some legal loophole. Well, guess what!?

He didn't last at our place, either; he was making some snide comments about
some manager that walked funny. Turns out, that manager had half his leg
blown off in Vietnam, and the comments got back to his boss. GONE in five
minutes.

If it weren't for bad luck, he'd have no luck at all....
